Carl,
I know a thing or two about getting in a pissing contest. I've got to be honest, with high school baseball season over and the changes not monumental, who cares? Congratulations on being the first to publish the news release. But, Garth alluded to discussion here and on Mc**** involving the shoulder turn and face mask decisions a couple of weeks ago. Being first isn't always great...ala the NY Times this morning. Do the other guys have a website to post the release? As a print based, time structured media (no sense printing the 2005 baseball rules in July 2004) do they realize the folly of such action? This site affords you a tremendous luxury. Enjoy...we all do.

Don't forget...several years ago the NFSHS proposed that the defensive was forbidden to throw the ball around after a strike out. A week AFTER the season began, the rule was dropped. I think we've seen these geniuses screw the pooch time and again...even after the rule books were printed!

Anyway...good job getting the facts. Just don't be surprised when the "facts" change.
